About Us

Hi, my name is Baz and my wife, Les, we have enjoyed cooking together for the last 30 odd years.

Baz-Les 1

Inspired by many trips to Italy, we decided to share our passion for cooking not only with our friends, but with every one who enjoys cooking.

Recipes
Most of our recipes have been created or altered by us, to our way of cooking. Some come from friends, some from cookbooks and other food sites.

As part of our commitment to improve and create a user friendly site, we will be pleased to hear any ideas or comments.

…(I accidentally hit submit before I was done with my other comment….)
I have three small children and have found that quick and easy meals work best. ONE day I will have the time to make fancy meals…can you suggest any quick and easy recipes? I feel like I’ve tried all of them (but you never know!)

I love your website!
It’s easy to navigate and the images of the food jump out of the page. Yum!
Your passion really shines through.

Keep up the great work. It seems we are both on the same boat to helping people eat well.

Best regards
Lance

Thanks Lance! Praise from a chef is always welcome!

Kate December 1, 2010 at 8:16 pm

Wow! This website is fantastic! It’s so easy to navigate, and the recipies look amazing. They look so authentic! I think the homey vibes of the recipies are rubbing off on the website….it’s really the friendly feelings that puts this website over the top. I really admire your knowledge in Italian cooking, and your travels. You see, I’m only thirteen, but after college I dream of moving to Italy, and going to culinary school there. Wish me luck!
Keep cooking!
Kate :)

Lesley December 2, 2010 at 6:55 am

Good luck Kate! You’ll enjoy Italy, especially the food!! Thanks for your lovely comment, glad you liked the recipes! :-)
